I planted various flowers in a seed starter thing about a week ago. Is it normal not to see any growth? I planted Asters, Cosmos, snap dragons, morning glories, %26amp; forget me nots. I also planted some thyme %26amp; lavender. I know very little about gardening.
Seed starters..............?
Different seed have different germination times. I assume your seed starter kit has a plastic cover of some sort. If it doesn't, you may want to cover it with a plastic bag or another kind of plastic to hold in the moisture. Keep soil moist but not soaking. Keep it in a warm, not hot place. Be patient and don't be surprised if some seed germinate and some don't. I always plant at least twice as many seeds as I want plants because they don't always germinate. And some seedlings might die. Once most the seed are up, take the plastic off. If you have extra plants maybe a neighbor or friend would like them. Good luck!
Reply:Read the packet and see how many days it takes to germinate. If you haven't seen anything within 14 days then it's most likely not going to grow.
Reply:Are they in a sunny south window? Warmth is required for germination. Cosmos, asters usually sprout within a week. Cold treat the lavender.
A great way to start seeds is to place them on a damp paper towel, place that in a zip type plastic bag and put it in a sunny window. Have fun!
